The fourth and final Grand Slam of the season – the US Open 2023 tennis tournament – is scheduled to be held from August 28 to September 10 in New York.
All eyes will be on Serbian great Novak Djokovic, who will be returning to the Flushing Meadows after missing the tournament last year. The world No. 2 is bidding for his fourth US Open men’s singles tennis title and will look to equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slams – the most by any player in history.
Live streaming and telecast of the US Open 2023 tennis tournament will be available in India.
The 36-year-old Novak Djokovic, who won the first two Grand Slams of the season – the Australian Open and the French Open – will start his campaign at the Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday.
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, who beat Djokovic in the Wimbledon 2023 final, is the top seed at the US Open. Alcaraz and Djokovic met in the Cincinnati Masters final last week where the latter emerged the winner.
Alcaraz, who is bidding for his third Major title, will begin his title defence against Dominik Koepfer of Germany.
Meanwhile, 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal will not play at the US Open 2023 due to a hip injury he suffered at the Australian Open earlier this year. Former world No. 1 Nadal, the four-time US Open champion, also sat out of this year’s French Open and Wimbledon.
In women’s singles, defending champion Iga Swiatek of Poland will kick off her campaign against Sweden’s Rebecca Peterson at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
However, the world No. 1 Swiatek might need to see off home favourite Coco Gauff. The 19-year-old Gauff, who is placed in the same half of the draw, heads into the New York event with the Cincinnati Masters 2023 title under her belt. Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova is also placed in the same half.
Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, will headline the second half of the draw. Former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, is also lined up in the same half of the women’s singles draw.
Indian tennis players at US Open 2023
There’ll be no Indian tennis players in the singles main draw at the US Open 2023.
Ankita Raina, ranked 154th in the WTA rankings, reached the third round of the women’s singles qualifiers, before losing to Sweden’s Mirjam Bjorklund. Raina’s exit means no Indian will feature in the US Open 2023 main draw.
Earlier, Sumit Nagal and Karman Kaur Thandi lost in the opening round of the US Open 2023 qualifiers.
In the men’s doubles section, India’s Rohan Bopanna will team up with Australian Matthew Ebden. The Indo-Australian duo, who reached the Wimbledon 2023 semi-finals, are seeded sixth in the tournament.
India’s Yuki Bhambri, meanwhile, will partner Brazilian Marcelo Demoliner. The 31-year-old Yuki Bhambri had partnered compatriot Saketh Myneni in the previous three Grand Slams of the season.
